What have you done under the hood for looks only

So I looked around a little bit and didn't really find anything, but I was wondering what people did for appearence under the hood. What you painted, chromed, ect. Or other appearence mods.

I've run the pressure wash around under there a few times. Does that count?

Man, I learned the hard way years ago about power washing under the hood. I know things have changed over the years but replacing $800 worth of cooked computers was way too much to have a clean engine bay.

Let's see........polishished all AC lines with billet polish, painted fuse and computer covers and added stainless tops, changed all caps to chrome, chrome bolt covers wherever posible, powder coated "valve" cover, chrome/crossed flag oil cap (removed extension), color-matched hood release assembly, GMPP intake, stainless steel hood liners (w/dynomat between it and hood.

I keep it all clean with low pressure washing and detailing cleaner.

They both look really good thanks for the pictures.

WOW, GDZHHR! That is shiny engine. So the stuff you painted did you use the high heat spray paint? Seems like the best place for me to start w/ making my engine look pretty.

Nope, just bought a couple of spray cans from autozone. Duplicolor has a perfect match for Victory Red. The pieces I painted don't get very hot.
